The comfortable residence Of Ur. G.
II. Crouch which was located orr his
farm seven miles east Of this city on
the Turnersville road was totally de-
stroyed by fire at noon Wednesday
last. The fire originated from a de-
tectiye fiue leading from the kitchen
stove and as the family and farHs
hands were seated eating dinner, the
flames got beyond control before they
were discovered. Everything in the
B)wer part Of the building was saved
but the contents of the upper rooms
were burned. DIR. Crouch had $1.50Ot
insurance in Byars, agency but the.
loss far exceeds that amount. The
building was fifty-twoi by fifty-four
feet in size and with what contents
were destroyed was worth $4,000.
DIR. Crouch and family are Temporal
rily sheltered with his father who
lives near the old place.
A fire was discovered at about 9
O'Clock Wednesday moming by Off
GERS Carkuff and Ginley, ia the saloon
of j. w. Jackson, on Strawberry ave
nue., and the alarm was Immediately
given. No. | and 2 reels of the
ClarksvisIe Fire Department and the
Hook and Ladder Company were
soon ON the ground. No. 2 quickly
turned on stream and the fire was
extinguished without mach damage.
A hole iw the floor about three feet in
diameter was burned. A clerk at
Hassetts' saloon, next door, seeingI
the danger, began to roll out the
precious liquid and soon several bar
rels rof fihid lightning were out on
the street. A colored woman in the
cellar also removed her effects out
into the street to get them out of
danger.

plements, was destroyed by fire on
Monday evening. The loss was
about 5000. The blazing timbers Of
the barmf fell upon and destroyed the
patent furnaces with which the tobac-
co was being cured. It is due, how
ever, to the curers to say that the fire
was caused by chuak rolling ont
